Ram Dass: How to keep Heart open in Hell

 

Remember: Be Here Now (Ram Dass)

(After Skool) It's all perfect by Ram Dass (formerly Prof. Richard Alpert, Ph.D., Harvard University)

RAM DASS ("God's Servant or Slave") was born Richard Alpert on April 6, 1931 and lived until December 22, 2019) [1]. He became a hippie and is also known as Baba ["Father"] Ram Dass. He was an American spiritual teacher, guru of modern yoga [2], academic psychologist, and writer of Be Here Now, his best-selling [3] 1971 book, which has been described by as "seminal" [4, 5, 6].

Ram Dass perfectly describes "ego death"

Ram Dass (Dr. Richard Alpert)

With the help of his scandalous but loving sex guru Neem Karoli Baba, he helped popularize Eastern spirituality and yoga in the West [7]. He authored or co-authored a dozen more books on spirituality over the next four decades, including Grist for the Mill (1977), How Can I Help? (1985), and Polishing the Mirror (2013).

Aren't you supposed to be a Jew?

Once when he was teaching with his long hair, beard, and linen garments, someone in the crowd asked him why he dressed like a guru from India when he was really a Jew from the U.S. Without missing a beat, his retort was, "I'm only Jewish on my parents' side." Ha ha ha, exactly!

We are born into a faith, and it's usually rammed down our throats before we have a chance to do anything but swallow. And most of us won't question it. But some of us vomit it up, leave or examine, sometimes even come back to it later.

However, it seems the job and duty of any human to question it, test it, attempt to validate it, argue against it, learn from it, grow from it, reject it all together, or make peace with it. There's a world of spirituality out there to explore. We usually need a floor, a ground, by which to test things. And almost all major religions have a mystic component or sect. That's a place to start.

Parents, what am I to do but follow my heart?

But question we must, and explore we will, and find? That remains to be seen. We are on a spiritual quest. And maybe the whole rest of the world can't be. But if Americans can't, what the F are you calling yourself an "American" for? Life, liberty, and the PURSUIT of happiness is all you were promised -- and you're not even going to pursue it? Truth means nothing? Just taking sides? Just being controlled by your government, schools, and parents, the "powers that be"? Pathetic. Human up, and get searching.

Ram Dass' brothers and sisters with Baba

Ram Dass was personally and professionally associated with hippie Dr. Timothy Leary at Harvard University in the early 1960s. Then known as Richard Alpert, he conducted research with Leary on the therapeutic effects of psychedelic drugs.

In addition, Alpert assisted Harvard Divinity School graduate student Walter Pahnke in his 1962 "Good Friday Experiment" with theology students, the first controlled, double-blind study of drugs and the mystical experience [8, 9].

While legal at the time (and not yet criminalized), their research was controversial and led to Dr. Leary's and Dr. Alpert's firing from Harvard in 1963.

In 1967, Alpert traveled to India and became "Ram Dass," a disciple of Hindu Guru Neem Karoli Baba, who gave him the name Ram Dass, meaning "Servant of Ram," but usually rendered simply as "Servant of God" for Western audiences.

Hi, I'm Neem Karoli Baba (Sculpture in Ram Dass Library) sculpted to look like sweet Budai

 

In the following years, he co-founded the charitable organizations Seva Foundation and Hanuman Foundation. From the 1970s to the 1990s, he traveled extensively, giving talks and retreats and holding fundraisers for charitable causes.

Remember: Be Here Now (Ram Dass)

In 1997, he had a stroke, which left him with paralysis and expressive aphasia which would be better characterized as "fluent, anomic-like with hesitations and word finding difficulties at the conversational level with grossly intact auditory comprehension for high level, low-context information" [10, 11].

He eventually grew to interpret this event as an act of grace, learning to speak again and continuing to teach and write books. After becoming seriously ill during a trip to India in 2004, he gave up traveling and moved to Maui, Hawaii, where he hosted annual retreats with other spiritual teachers until his death in 2019. More

Something/someone's steering 3i/ATLAS

(Territory)

3i/ATLAS object coming? Disclosure?

Why is 3i/ATLAS such a big deal? Is it a UFO?

3i/ATLAS, also known as C/2025 N1 (ATLAS) and previously as A11pl3Z, is an interstellar object, perhaps just a comet [16][17], discovered by the ATLAS (Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System) station. It follows an unbound, hyperbolic trajectory past the Sun [5][c]. It will come as close as 1.8 AU (astronomical units, nearly twice the distance of the Sun) from Earth.

China just issued a warning about 3i/ATLAS — and NASA is silent!

(Newsmax) NASA is silent on 3i ATLAS' abnormal behavior: Dr. Avi Loeb

Therefore, it poses no threat [18] to Earth unless it is a UFO mothership, vimana, or extraterrestrial technology such as a probe intentionally sent to monitor this sector and region of space. It is the third interstellar object confirmed passing through our Solar System, after 1I/ʻOumuamua and 2I/Borisov [19], hence the prefix "3i." It is not expected to brighten enough to become visible using binoculars or to the naked eye. During solar conjunction on Oct. 21, 2025 [f], it could be observed by the GOES-19 weather satellite [20]. More

Could it be a vimana (aerial vehicle) like the one found in Afghan cave?

• 

  (Vaimanika Shastra Shakuna)

  Vimānas are flying palaces or chariots described in Hindu texts and Sanskrit epics, which are disdainfully labelled "mythological." The Pushpaka Vimana of Ravana (who took it from Kubera, whereafter Rama returned it) is the most quoted example of a vimana. Vimanas are also mentioned in Jain texts, and Buddhist text contain a whole section on vimanas, talking about the karma that led beings to be reborn in or in possession of a vimana (space platform).
• ETYMOLOGY: The Sanskrit/Pali word vimāna (विमान) means "immeasurable" (WQ). Monier Monier-Williams defines vimāna as "a chariot of the gods [the devas], any self-moving aerial car sometimes serving as a seat or throne, sometimes self-moving and carrying its occupant through the air; other descriptions make the Vimana more like a house or palace, and one kind is said to be seven stories high," and quotes the Pushpaka Vimana of Ravana as an example. It may denote any vehicle, especially a bier or a ship as well as a palace of an emperor, especially with seven stories [1]. Nowadays, vimāna, vimān, and bimān all mean "aircraft" in Indian languages. More

Mysterious TikToks; 3i/ATLAS object

What is this space object, a UFO or comet?

3i/ATLAS, also known as C/2025 N1 (ATLAS) and previously as A11pl3Z, is an interstellar object (comet? [16][17]) discovered by the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) station at Río Hurtado, Chile, on July 1, 2025.

When it was discovered, it was entering the inner Solar System at a distance of 4.5 AU (astronomical unites, 420 million miles or 670 million kms) from the sun.

The object follows an unbound, hyperbolic trajectory past the sun with a very fast hyperbolic excess velocity of 36 mi/s (58 km/s) relative to the sun [5][d].

3I/ATLAS will not come closer than 1.8 AU (170 million miles or 270 million kms) to Earth, so it poses no threat [18].

'Hump vs. Harvard: son Barron rejected

If it can generally be agreed that Mr. Trump is an @$$clown, might the same be said of allegedly bright Barron? True, he might be related to father Donald (or possibly one of Melania's secret suitors), but is a child doomed to become like the father figure who raises him? Does Ivanka mentor the boy, does Melania so shield him as her pride and joy that no other family gets the chance to ruin him, or is the boy adrift in a sea of DNA that dooms him to become like Fred Trump's son?

(Black Stories Untold) History tells us that Cristobal Columbus "discovered" America — but what if that’s not the whole story? Evidence suggests that African explorers arrived in the Americas long before European conquest, leaving their mark on ancient civilizations like the Olmecs. From striking stone carvings to cultural similarities, the clues are there — but mainstream history refuses to acknowledge them. Who were these early Black navigators?

Are you a "Jewish supremacist"?

DEFEND GENOCIDE: STAND WITH ISRAEL

.

I'll Burn That Bridge...

Norman Finkelstein briefly explains how identity politics was exploited by "Jewish suprmeacists" | The Big Picture (Middle East Eye):

“When identity politics comes up against power, power wins.” In a frank conversation with Middle East Eye, political scientist Norman Finkelstein [a well-educated Jewish professor whose family members were direct victims of the Nazi Holocaust] explains how fears around Jewish safety on U.S. campuses were exploited and used to silence debate on [war crimes, ethnic cleansing, and genocide] Gaza [by] Israel.

MIGA: Make Israel Great Again (buy Trump cap)

In his 2022 book I'll Burn That Bridge When I Get to It: Heretical Thoughts on Identity Politics, Cancel Culture, and Academic Freedom, Finkelstein is highly critical of identity politics and “cancel culture.”

He addresses being cancelled by some pro-Palestinian activists over his critiques of the BDS movement [Boycott, Divest, and Sanction to stop international criminal state Israel].

The CIA and I are not here to be fair but to win.

This episode of The Big Picture Podcast welcomes back American Professor Finkelstein to talk about the aftermath of the U.S. elections, Israel’s war [crimes] in Gaza, and shifting tactics of the Palestine movement.

You're on our side, right, Dolly? - Of course. PR.

Prof Finkelstein won't back down about the truth. He's telling it like it is, even if it's hard for us to hear. Most Jews won't stand for such talk. They'll label brave Jews "antisemites" to shut them up. Why? We're the victims, the victim class, the ultimate oppressed, the hated, the genocided -- not the ones who commit genocide, cheer on war crimes, fund and defend ethnic cleansing, break international law with wars for territory (as the U.S. proxy in our future empire known as the Middle East), steal land, rape Muslim women and boys, shut down free speech, support Trumpi and Bibi Net, jail Jewish college dissidents brave enough to disagree, oppose Christian protesters and peacenik demonstrators, go all in for oddball Zionism and thievery on a grand scale...
